This is an article all about people so when reading this remember, 50/50 went out long ago. Try 100/100. Even when the other side only comes back at 50, you give 100 and watch your world change forever.

There is a great Motto to follow:

DRINK, STEAL, SWEAR & LIE

I said I live by these 4 rules: Drink, Steal, Swear, & Lie.

Sit a while and listen as I explain these four rules. So here they are:

1. "Drink" from the "everlasting cup" of life every day.

2. "Steal" a moment to help someone that is in worse shape than you are even when no one is watching.

3. "Swear" that you will be a better person today than yesterday and even better tomorrow.

4. And last, but never least, before you "lie" your head down at night thank God you live in America and have freedom to own your own business, be your own boss, and can help others every day.

This is what you should also ask for each night and day:

Dear Lord,

I am not as good as I should be, I am not as good as I could be, but THANK YOU GOD THAT YOU HAVE ALLOWED ME TO WORK AT THE FOLLOWING: I am better than I used to be and working harder at improving and getting better every hour of everyday to always show the best of me to everyone.

So we begin our journey. Have you come across a person who is so naturally friendly that when you put them inside a room of strangers, they'll be friends with almost everyone in no time? We call such people a people-person, someone so unbelievably nice and charismatic that they can charm anyone into doing anything.

A socially-empowered person achieves so much greatness, basically because of the people that catapult them to success. They earn the trust and all-out support of the people they have helped before. They never run out of help. They can do anything because they have the support of so many people. All because they know how to maximize their social potential!

See, if you know your social skills and you make use of them, you will reach self-empowerment. Self-empowerment is making a general overhaul in your life and turning yourself into a happier and more successful person. If you can be one of those people-persons, then there is no reason why you will not succeed. You just have to know how to start.

1. Be genuine.

Hypocrisy will just bring you all the way down. Be genuinely nice and interested in people. Once they perceive that you are a hypocrite with selfish intentions, you might as well say goodbye to self-empowerment.

2. Be the greatest listener that you can be.

To earn the love and trust of the people, listen to their problems and sympathize with them. Do not just hear them out, listen to them with your heart. Make eye contact when the person talks to you. Listen as if every word matters, because it does! Brownie points when they learn that you can be their confidante.

3. Laugh out loud.

Not that you force yourself to laugh for every joke cracked by someone, albeit you do not find it funny at all. This means finding humor in things and not being too darn serious. A person oozing with an awesome sense of humor attracts crowds and eventually, attracts success.

4. Don't forget yourself.

In the process of fluttering around like a social butterfly, you might forget yourself, allowing everyone to push you around. Remember, love and value yourself before anyone else. If you deem yourself respectable and worthy of affection, people will flock to you and not trample on you.

5. Do random acts of kindness.

You don't have to be a John Rockefeller and give your entire life savings to charity. Little acts of kindness matter the most, and this can be as simple as giving someone a surprise you-take-care card or helping someone cross the street. When we were kindergarten students, kindness was taught to us and greatly practiced. Now is the time to revive doing good deeds and this time, let them stay for good.

6. Contact your old friends.

Sad how some friendships are destined to goodbye, but thanks to technology, you can do something about it. Relive the good old days by flipping your yearbook and look for the great people whom you want to communicate with again. Adding these old friends to your roster of support peers will surely make you feel good all over.

7. Develop your personality.

Are you grouchy, grumpy and generally down? Whoa, you can't go through life like that. Get rid of those bad traits and habits that perpetually hamper your growth. And really, who wants a grouchy friend anyway?

8. Be confident.

Be able to stride to the other corner of the room and introduce yourself to people with that winning smile of yours. Just remember: be confident, not arrogant.

9. Practice control.

When angry, don't snap at anyone. Never throw a tantrum. Stay calm and collected. Be adult enough to take control of situation and transform your anger into something more productive and passive. As soon as people think your anger goes to volcanic proportions easily, they will find it hard to come to you.

10. Keep nurturing your relationships.

Your relationship with your family, friends and significant others is too precious. You should not neglect it no matter what happens. Go out and have fun with them. Do things together. Happiness will never fly from your side as long as the people who matter the most are close to you.

In the end, using people for self-empowerment means becoming a better and more lovable person.
